From Fugitive Slave to Free Man by William Wells Brown,

From Fugitive Slave to Free Man by William Wells Brown,
Growing up as a slave in an urban area of Missouri allowed William Wells Brown to live a life that was different from that of the plantation slave so often discussed in slave histories. Born in 1814, the son of a white man and a slave woman, Brown spent the first twenty years of his life mainly in St. Louis and the surrounding areas workings as a house servant, a field hand, a tavern keeper's assistant, a printer's helper, an assistant in a medical office, and a handyman for James Walker, a Missouri slave trader. During his time with Walker, Brown made three trips up and the down the Mississippi River. These trips allowed him to encounter slavery from every perspective and provided experiences he would draw on throughout his writing career. In From Fugitive Slave to Free Man, two of Brown's best-known writings, Narrative of William W. Brown, A Fugitive Slave. Written by Himself and My Southern Home: or, The South and Its People, are reprinted together with an expanded introduction by William L. Andrews. Brown's Narrative, published in 1847, was his first autobiographical writing and was received with wide acclaim, going through four American and five British editions. Only Frederick Douglass's autobiography sold better, casting a constant shadow over Brown's works. Douglass and his life were touted as extraordinary, while Brown was referred to as the typical "every man's slave." However, the life of William Brown and his writings prove otherwise. Determined to be a man of letters, Brown was known as the first African American to write a travel book, Three Years in Europe: or, Places I Have Seen and People I Have Met, which was based on his time abroad in Paris at an international peaceconference and in England on an anti-slavery crusade. A year later he published Clotel, the first novel written by an African American and the first to exploit the decades-old rumors of an affair between President Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemmings.



The Wreck of the William Brown
The Wreck of the William Brown
When the sailing ship "William Brown hit an iceberg, it set off a series of compelling events: a shipwreck, overcrowded lifeboats, murder at sea, and a dramatic trial. In 1841--seventy-one years before the luxury liner "Titanic collided with an iceberg in the same waters off Newfoundland--the "William Brown was carrying emigrants from Britain to America when the ship struck an iceberg and sank. Both ships were traveling at maximum speed in waters known to be filled with icebergs. In both cases, half the passengers drowned because the ship owners had not provided sufficient lifeboats for all. But the survivors of the "William Brown faced further horrors when the mate on the overcrowded lifeboat announced, "We cannot all live--some of us must die, the boat is so leaky." Fourteen passengers were thrown overboard by sailors. What begins as a simple story of hard choices in the wake of a maritime disaster soon becomes a gripping narrative of politics and greed. During most of the nineteenth century, the passenger trade in the millions of emigrants leaving Britain and Europe for a new life in North America was immensely profitable. When the tragedy of the "William Brown threatened to expose the dangers that emigrants faced on these "coffin ships," a motley collection of politicians, lawyers, jurists, and reporters on both sides of the Atlantic conspired to indict a simple seaman who was in truth the only true hero of the disaster. The trial gave rise to the concept of "lifeboat ethics": how to decide who gets saved when resources are limited and scarcity requires a choice. Part narrative of a disaster at sea, part compelling portrait of a forgotten history, and part re-creation ofone of the century's defining maritime trials, this riveting tale of adventure on the high seas and legal machinations still has parallels today.
